The Creepy Motion Portrait App Everyone Loves And Fears

Check Out These Awesome And Terrifying Motion Portraits As You Digest Turkey

If you're looking for something to do this Thanksgiving weekend while the smells of cooking turkey and sounds of oven spatter fill your home, we highly suggest the Motion Portrait app. And if Instagram is any indication, so does everyone else. The app turns any portrait into a three-diemensional moving work of art. And by "work of art" we mean "living nightmare". But, you know, the fun kind.

Unless you plan on watching football all day, you're going to need something to distract you from Uncle Barry's annual recital of the "procedures" he's had done to his body this year. "Thanks for making us think about your old, weather-beaten body, Uncle Barry!" you'll silently shout from behind your sad eyes. We get it. Worry not though, because once again your smart phone can distract you from the trying task of living with others. It may even distract you from the Thanksgiving lies you aren't ready to face. Even if that distraction is fascinatingly eerie. Here are some creeptastic examples of the MotionPortrait terror art that is dominating the internet and our twisted hearts. Enjoy.

The Incomparable "Liam Neesons". A Given.

Another winner. You definitely want to honour Liam Neesons, or Liam Neeson, if you didn't get the K&P memo. My only criticism is that the maker of this Motion Portrait missed an opportunity to make Liam tell us, quite justifiably, that he will find us and he will kill us.

The Cat nipple chatter box. Mostly why!?

Some folks decided to push the creep factor by making cats talk. Out of their doughy stomaches. Lady cats, with nipples. This looks like a medieval etching of a demon come to life. We stand behind the #freethenipple campaign but we're certain that a nipply cat stomache reciting the goings on of a busy food court is a prophetic nightmare. If you dream this it means you're gonna become a crazy cat lady. Even if you aren't a cat person. Or a woman.

The Bad Trip Tattoo Conversation. Call My Mom.

If you aren't the type to dabble with psychotropic drugs, but were always a little curious, this is the app for you. The working title of the app prototype was actually Ayahuasca Mind Melt. But "have a talk with an ink diety without forgetting where you parked and soiling yourself" was too long for a tagline so MotionPortrait won out.

A tattoo of a possesed little girl. Of course.

Excellent use of creep factor and subject matter. This person has brought their questionable body art to life and we say yes! Creepy body art made even creepier with technology. And thematically congruous. Awful and upsetting. Well done.

The Egyptian Royalty Corpse. Sure, why not?

Here again we have good use of the app bringing something dead to life. Long lost Egyptian royalty. Makes sense. It feels almost safe. I'll take a Mummy's curse over toothy, smiling cat nipples any day of the week.

The weird pop art terror. Can't do it.

If you told me this work of art was made by a serial killer on death row out of the clothing strips he kept from his victims, I'd say that's creepy. But not as creepy as beathing life into it by animating it.
